Lesson: The Plates of Earth`s Crust Building a Tectonic Plate Grade
... How many plates are there on the Earth? Are they small or large? What are they called? Earth’s major plates all have both continental and oceanic crust and each continent appears to rest on a different plate. The plates are not stationary – in fact, they are moving constantly, at a rate of 6-15 cm/ ...
